nbc4 -- If you are able to part with your Navy/Solar Aeronaut, one option is to sell yours on eBay and use the money to buy an Aubergine Aeronaut. I purchased a Navy/Solar Western Flyer because I loved the color combination, and I wanted to cling to as many Solar Dyneema products as I could, but now that they're releasing an Aubergine WF, I'm really torn, and I might wind up doing the same thing (it helps that I haven't even removed the label off of the WF yet).

However, there's no Aubergine/Wasabi WF--for that combo, I need to upsize to a Tri-Star. I'm REALLY torn about that. But it's such an amazing color combo, I might just have to take the plunge!

Lani, I want an aubergine TS...but if you put the WF on ebay it may very well find a good home with me, because like you, I'm a little sad there's no Aubergine/wasabi combo for WF. And steel is a little dark for a lining, or so I've read.

Aubergine is a wonderful professional color and is really a great addition to the French First Empire inspired colors in Tom Bihn Inc's Ballistic rainbow...That might allow me to get another or more Aeronaut.

I hope that a Cadet in that color is in the works...

Yes, please! A Cadet in Aubergine would be just the ticket! I LOVE the Aeronaut and Co-pilot I just got in Black, but I can see now that I will need to move into Aubergine in a BIG way. Would love to start my collection with the Cadet!

On an Epic Quest for the Perfect Bag...

One Bag to rule them all, One Bag to find them,
One Bag to carry them all and in the aircraft bind them...

Hello all. This is my very first post on this forum. I own a small number of Tom Bihn products - an Empire Builder, a variety of Brain Cells and Caches in various sizes that I've acquired over the last 12 months from visiting the factory store in Seattle. However, what really caught my eye was the release of bags in this Aubergine color. I simply couldn't take my eyes off the Aeronaut in this color! Then, the Tri-Star received the same treatment as well, so I had to add it to the shopping cart. I don't really have any immediate need for the bags, but, truth be told, it was really the color that sold me. I'm looking forward to more Aubergine goodness.

Now that the Smart Alec is offered in Aubergine, is there any chance of a purple Citizen Canine? I want to order one for Christmas but black and grey are too staid for my tastes, and I've got so many red bags that it might be an illness at this point.
